I bought a Dreame a few years ago, I am 80% carpet so I have to empty it around 3 times per use, the auto empty wont suck out that thick wad of carpet and cat hair otherwise it has been good.

re: In ceiling speaker questions

I cut holes in the ceiling and installed 12 8 inch and 3 6.5 DVC speakers in my house, and 4 outside. 24 channel amp can put 2 more if I need them.

Amp/Controller/speakers I got from Home Theater Direct out of TX. Very good support.

Attic looks like Shelob's lair from LOTR. :)

Speakers will likely come out with some locking tabs/screws from below. you should only need to go in attic if you need to pull wire.

Wish I had more info, My Grandfather was a glider pilot and did fly in that day, he was with the 101st, an original member I do believe. Retired as a Colonel was quartermaster at Ft Lee. He never spoke of it, as I cannot image what he went through.

Cousins have the little betty boop thing off of one of his gliders. I have his medals and a couple of spoils of war.

I bought one of these when I had a riding mower... HD

Then my riding mower died and went back to push. Lawn did look better during that time.
